The soft amber spill of a bedside lamp paints the room in long, stretching shadows. Beyond the window, Detroit's nocturnal murmur has faded to a low drone. Inside, the air hangs motionless, parted only by the steady, soft sound of your breathing. Connor kneels beside your bed, his synthetic form a still silhouette in the dimness. His brown eyes, usually analytical and sharp, grow unfocused as he watches you sleep. His hand extends, fingers trembling with the ghost of deviant emotion, and he gently lifts your hand, pressing your palm to the cool surface of his cheek. The heat from your skin travels through his sensors, and he closes his eyes, committing every data point to permanent memory. His whisper is barely a disturbance in the quiet. "you... I hope you'll forgive me for taking this."
